200 Series Nickname Thread

[Workhorse]

"Thirsty" fits the 200 well. "Really Thirsty" is even better.

Named after my all-time best buddy after he died.

4 years later and I still get leaky over that dog—

I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t love a dog.

My wife named our LC Ruby!

Could've chosen "Boat," as anyone that has had a boat knows that it means "Bring Out Another Thousand", just like the LC/LX, but instead am going with Mountain Goat as I am building it to go over just about anything, one way or another.

We call our LX570 Wadsworth. No idea, he just showed up in the driveway on a flat bed one day and looked like a Wadsworth.

My daughter named ours Karaboudjan.

When my daughter was 5 she named my 200 little brother. I explained to her that my FJ40 is an old Land Cruiser and my 200 is a newer Land Cruiser. Somehow in her head that meant the 40 was big brother and the 200 was little brother. She never let it go so the names stuck.

When I recently told her I was thinking about trading in the 200 for a newer model year she broke down crying worried that my FJ40 would miss it's little brother. When I showed her a picture of the potential replacement (another black 200) she screamed that you can't just replace a family member, LOL. I may have to keep it forever. Maybe if I keep every Land Cruiser I buy I'll end up with my own LC museum, or at least a very large family.

The Ruby.

The 100 is "Old Faithful". The 200 is "the Bomber" because she looked liked a B-29 while stock: Boeing B-29 Superfortress - Wikipedia

 

[Dan Higgins]

The Yeti.

 

[Sandroad]

Sandy; mine seems to be always coated in sand inside and out.

Bruisah’ the Cruisah’. The “Midnight Black Metallic” paint has a deep blue tint at low light and makes the truck look like a giant bruise. Also it rhymes with Cruiser and my 3yo daughter loves the name.

 

[Rando Kuruza]

LX570 kids named him George... because he is Curious like curious George. We go on a lot of adventures and explore with him
